Genealogy General--
My name is Dave and I have a web site
that will assist all researchers for MINNESOTA. I
have compiled batch nos. for Births, Marriages
& CHRs. in MN. You can search by county, then
by surname. (or leave surname field blank for ALL
that film's extractions). These have been
extracted from courthouse records & Church
Records. I have put the sources on the link, and
will tell you which books/films have been
extracted. If it is not done, then you can order
the film from a FHL for the incomplete
years... (and NOT order the film that has
been extracted and inserted into the IGI. Also, this is a
great way to research your family's collateral lines and their
kids...)

Minnesota Atlas - Scott County
Panoramic Maps 1847-1929.
View a map of Shakopee in 1869!! The
panoramic map was a popular cartographic form
used to depict U.S. and Canadian cities and towns
during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Known also as bird's-eye views,
perspective maps, and aero views, panoramic maps
are nonphotographic representations of cities
portrayed as if viewed from above at an oblique
angle. Although not generally drawn to scale,
they show street patterns, individual buildings,
and major landscape features in perspective. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pmhtml/panhome.html

A
Guide to the Records of Minnesota's
Public Lands, by Gregory Kinney
and Lydia Lucas, Minnesota Historical
Society, Division of Archives and
Manuscripts, 1985, 121 pages. This
publication is out-of-print, but can be
viewed at the Minnesota Historical
Society and other libraries.
"The records described in this guide
document the state of Minnesota's
acquisition, sale, and management of its
trust fund, railroad grant, and related
lands, as well as the federal land survey
of Minnesota and the initial transfer of
title to public lands from the federal
government to the state or to private
parties. The approximately 800 cubic feet
of records were created primarily by four
agencies: the State Land Office,
the Land Department of the State
Auditor's office, the U.S. General Land
Office in Minnesota, and the U.S.
Surveyor General for Minnesota. The guide
also summarizes land-related records in
other state agencies, with individual
descriptions of particularly pertinent
records series."
